anyone have pictures of their tc with trd springs. i want to see how low the drop is compared to the tein h.tech that drops the front 1.9" and back 1.5".

 

i just got mine installed exactly one week ago!

BEFORE TRD DROP

AFTER DROP






So I think that's as much as I would want to drop my car. Any lower and my lip would be really scratched up (the way I drive). =P

 

Lowerd on trd springs

 

i personally think that the tC's height is a little too high in its class. something about it makes it look a lot higher than all the other sedans/coupes/hbks out there. i really wanna drop it, but i'm just afraid of scratching the front bumper going over bumps and really steep inclines. any tips? i know about going sideways, but not quite familiar with that yet. parking really far away from the bump at malls. usually, cars can go over that bump. how's the installation on the springs? easy and quick? i mean, as of right now, i scratched the underside of my front bumper already.

by the way, specifically, how many inches did the front and back go down by? and what's the clearance now compared to stock?

 

the trd drop is what it sais it is, its a very nice drop that wont have a huge affect on the the driveablitiy of the car, and makes the overall stance of the tc much better looking. i live in an area that has some pretty ruff winters and with the trd drop i have, im not really too concerened. i would recomend it. im not sure about recomending someone to do this thereselves. i did it myself with no prior experience and it took me about 8-9 hours spanning over three days to complete. i had a hard time getting the rear strut assembly realigned to fit back in the car. i did have fun doing it though and felt good to say i did it myself. hope this helps

 

heres mine:

BEFORE


AFTER




its not a major drop, but it cleans up the gap pretty nicely. i feel this is how it SHOULD have come from the factory. the stock springs feel like im driving an SUV.

 

The height is just perfect now. I wouldn't want it any lower!

 

Moved to CC.

 

check the sig.......

 

imo thats just the kind of drop i want. enough to show, and enough to go over speed bumps one question did you guys get shocks or anything else to go with it? how long does it usually last before spring blows out?

 

Your springs should never blow out (i think). I just installed the TRD springs and nothing else. Figured that if anything blew out, I could just replace it in the future.

 

I installed the shocks and springs together and noticed much more of a differnce than spings with stock shocks. Its like adding bigger swaybars with the shocks and the ride is firmer with less bounce.
